The Amalgamated Association officials
feel that they are making their point. So

it shows that WIN. II. Bailey has not sue

ing able to run the mill with new men.
Secretary Martin is still on the ground
The Amalgamated officials have instructed
their representatives in every section of
the country to try and pursuade all mill
men from going to Mingo junction to take
the places of the places of the men who

We are not likely to communicate with
Mr.. Powderly, as Bailey says that he is
representative. We have notified all the
parties to stay away from MingO. We are

ANOTHER POINTED TELEGRAM.
Mr. VIM. Martin the General Secretary
of the Amalgamated Association OF Iron
and Steel Workers. telegraphs TO the As
sociated Press under to-dayS date rs fol-
lows:
MINGo JUNCTION, February %.
There is no change in the situation of
affairs here. The mill is still idle, and the
pledge Bailey made to the company to
start the mill at the twenty-four hours
notice, has not, and is not likely to be full
filled. He promised to deliver the goods
without first consulting those whom he
considered would respond to his beck and
call TO become scab workmen.
AS previously stated in these dispatches,
the X. OF l.. has no grievances, and the
Amalgamated Association will, ifrequired,
file two bonds in the Courts here, one in
favor of the junction Steel Company and
in favor of the X OF L., asa guarantee that
they, the Amalgamated Association will
not interfere with the K. of l.. contract in
connection with their scale of wages. The
| X. of l.. is in the wrong here and as it re-
quires more manhood and courage Ia ad
nit "A wrong than 10 stick to it, Bailey
evidently lacks courage 10 admit il.
have Just learned that a movement,
looking up petition TO Bailey and his col
leagues by the citizens Of Steubcnville, re-
questing them To leave town, is csntem
plated. We call upon the members of our
organization 10 he vigilant, and use all
honorable means to prevent menfTOm com
ing here. will keep the people of this
country posted rs to the true state Of at
fairs here, and will send nothing for pub
licatiOn that cannot verify. We are in
the right and will do our fighting publicly.

Secretary ot the 4. 4. |. &. :. W.
